She has a really fun backstory in filmmaking and newspaper, and has since transitioned into being a full time “mediaprenuer” (meaning she does a blog, podcast, YouTube channel, etc.) She also has a wonderful, engaging personality (I’m actually not just saying that…I think that’s an important thing to learn from when it comes to being an influencer of any type).

We chat about…

How do I, as a blogger, explain what I do to my friends?

The key elements for effective STORYTELLING (huge for us)

How on Earth do we price info products?

The Pro/Cons of being a female or minority blogger

Doing WHATEVER YOU WANT on your blog.

and more 🙂

I sincerely hope you enjoy this little chat! Hit me up on Twitter if you do 🙂

Quickkk question

If you love this podcast, there’s a super easy ways to support it: Head to iTunes and leave me an honest rating and review! 1 star, 5 stars, doesn’t matter. It takes 2 mins MAX, and it helps me better the podcast!

At one point, Jessica caught a bit of flack for running a sponsored post. In general, this is silly, as Jessica works closely with her sponsors to make sure it’s a great fit for audience…but it’s also silly for another reason: IT’S HER BLOG.

4 – Events are not just for learning. This includes *online* events.

People are craving connections every day, not just new opportunities. In person meet ups should ALWAYS have an element of fun.

In fact… I will go a step further.

I believe there is a space for fun only events…ESPECIALLY In overcrowded learning niches such as blogging 🙂

Hence, I am super proud to tease…for the first-time ever…

All signed up. I am heading to an RV Entrepreneur Summit next week. The summit officially kicks off Feb 22nd but since we’re all nomadic, we’re pretty much starting to head that way in the next week or so. The 3 days leading up to event are going to be so awesome, and purely just for fun and networking. There will be an open work space with free beer and snacks. Then a local tour of a winery one afternoon, the next night dinner at a local’s restaurant. They also have yoga and exercise every morning and gasp! They’re letting me and some friends do a blogging for business meet-up.
So yeah, conferences and the like should definitely focus more on fun and networking.
